I’ve mentioned before that Charleston is a wedding destination and we have often seen wedding festivities and actual weddings.

This time it was the bride I glimpsed, as she was waiting for her turn to go down the aisle.

I couldn’t resist taking some photos when I passed by a bridal photo shoot. This wide lawn sits between the bamboo garden where the Barred Owls hand out and the swamp at my favorite bird gathering spot.
Charleston is known as a wedding destination and it’s not unusual to see all phases of wedding festivities about anywhere you go.
The front window of this bridal shop on Church Street in Charleston is always filled with luxurious wedding wear, but is difficult to photograph. Glare, reflections of cars parked across the street, and folks passing by are detractors.
Fortunately for those wanting a more intimate peek of it’s offerings (yes, me!) the shop has taken marketing advantage of its windows on the side street.
The gowns are elegant even on a headless, limbless dress form.
An entire rack of taffeta, lace and sparkle draws my eye and the bridal march is playing in my head.
